Best Answer

Supergirl was created by Otto Binder, who was a noted science fiction writer and wrote a column called ( Our Space Age) as well as several books on UFO"s. Almost certainly he was inspired by a sort of Marilyn Monroe-Jayne Mansfield composite. Her native name , Kara means (Jewel or Gem) in German and is an obsolete standard of mineral purity -perhaps related to (Karat). There is a Kara Sea in Russian waters.

Originally a sub-feature character in Adventure comics - she was introduced in l962 largely the Brain-child of science fiction writer Otto Binder.

Kara Zor-El, better known as ( now original one is deceased) Supergirl. She was created by Science Fiction writer Otto Binder in l962- who also supplied the Argo City mythos to explain her survival, etc. she was l6 when she landed on Earth. Bear in Mind Anastasia Romanov was l7 when all Hell Broke Loose in Ekaterinberg and she MAY have got out- and fled, initially to Berlin- not Paris as the movie inaccurately has it.


How tall is Supergirl and how much does she weigh?

She was only 15 when she first landed on Earth, but over the course of the next 25 years Supergirl would mature into a young adult and acquire a surprising amount of life experience. Although she began her career as a teenager, she was never a teenage sidekick. Her adventures were her own. Well it's really unknown........ In justice league she is 21 years old and in apocalypse she must be around 17-19 but to me she is most likely to be 17

How old is Supergirl in most comics?

her age is never stated once she was an adult. She was l5 ( some say l6) when she landed in the United States from Argo City. This was l962. She attended and graduated from Stanhope College ( methinks a take-off on Oberlin College) both a Stanhope and a Berline ( note spelling, are horse-drawn vehicles) and held a variety of jobs including a roving Television news reporter for a local TV station in it seems, a suburban town, not Metropolis. Her civilian ID was Linda Lee Danvers. This is the traditional Kara Zor-El Supergirl ( died in violent action in l985)- and since buried on Rokyn ( Kandor II full sized) - she is dead and no longer an active DC character.

What is the history about supergirl?

Supergirl, a native of the space city Argo City- a Kryptonian suburb, re-engineered by her old Man, Zor-el ( always technical types here) is Superman"s feminine cousin and is properly Kara Zor-El. She was created by the science fiction writer Otto Binder in l962 possibly inspired by a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. She was l6 when she landed on Earth. she was adopted by William ( I think) Danvers who was , like her real father, in the engineering profession- I think he worked for an electronics lab. She was thus known incognito as Linda Lee Danvers. She was a graduate of the fictional Stanhope ( a type of Buggy) college which methinks was a take-off on Oberlin college- as a Berline is also a type of Horse-drawn vehicle O"Berlin, get it- Buggy- a horse drawn carriage- same line of thought.
